Lightly raced (one-eyed) 3yo off the mark on seasonal return in Fairyhouse fillies maiden last month, coming from some way back under today's rider over 7f; left with plenty to do over a mile at Navan on handicap debut; 2lb lower and remains unexposed. |

Rapid improver last year, winning three times in testing ground; carried that forward to this term when taking the Irish Lincoln here in March; some decent runs in defeat since; ground against him when down the field in the Irish Cambridgeshire; needs rain. |

Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement when beating 24 rivals in the Irish Lincoln on return; early-season form also included second in a 1m2f premier handicap at the Curragh; unplaced twice in Listed races this term; handicap form gives him a leading chance; drawn low. |

Goes well at this venue and was only reeled in close to home over 8.5f here on Tuesday; runs off the same mark now and nicely drawn so can't discount dropped back in trip; obvious chance. |

1-11 on Flat after landing a 7f course maiden in April 2024; just 1.5l behind Minaun View in a Bellewstown claimer in July (1m, good) and better off at weights now; well beaten at Galway latest (7f, yielding). |

Has failed to add to his Gowran maiden win in April 2024 (7f, good); not a bad effort when a close fourth behind Minaun View in a Bellewstown claimer latest (Gloriously Glam second); handicap form unconvincing; new headgear combination tried. |

10st 8lb |
Dual Flat winner; stand-out effort over hurdles when a 2.25l second of 15 off 93 at Sligo (2m2f, good) on penultimate; didn't build on that at Tramore on latest; capable of better but risks attached. |
14/1 |

2-7 on the Flat; left maiden hurdle form behind when a keeping on 2.25l second of 15 on handicap debut at Sligo (2m2f, good); raised 3lb; debatable whether this sharper test will suit but he's a player. |

9st 9lb |
Record of 2-36 but it was his first run in blinkers when winning well over 1m2f at Clonmel (yielding) and again failed to convince over further at the Curragh; back at 1m2f he should run well, for all that he's 7lb higher than for that recent win. |
12/1 |

4th Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |

Was recording a second career win when taking 1m2f Clonmel contest last month in first-time blinkers, coming from off the pace to win going away; up 7lb for that and unconvincing over this longer trip in the past; encouraging jockey booking. |

Won three handicaps over the extended mile at this venue in 2024, at the festival, this fixture and the October meeting; no success since and was unplaced in this race 12 months ago before making the frame twice late in the season; only one run this season; potentially interesting off this mark. |

Six-time winner, including in July at Ballinrobe and when beating 16 rivals at the Galway festival despite a slow start; again compromised chance with slow start at Punchestown and when third over 1m here 11 days ago, a good effort in the circumstances; Billy Lee has a good record on her. |
